    Is Bo Mac an overrated trainer?

    Always knew this loudmouth 350lb buffoon wasn't all that.

    IMO Crawford made him, not the other way around.

        Bo Mac is much like Virgil Hunter. They both got 1 special fighter....and I don't even rate Ward...but they can't do anything with anyone else.

          No, he was dealing with a fighter who was damaged goods from the start. Amir always had a glass jaw and now he doesn't have anymore balance in his legs. It's just that Khan is now a ruined, shot and washed up fighter at this stage of his career that's all. No trainer would be able to save his career now.

            I could train TC so it's really not easy to judge him. Who else has he brought up?

                I don't know, but I was extremely unimpressed by Khan's preparation for this fight, and if BoMac--as head trainer--is ultimately responsible for that, I'm not confident that he will prove widely successful with fighters who come to him in the future.

                Obviously boxing trainers do not need to be in great shape themselves in order to successfully train their charges, but I don't think it was a coincidence that fitness fanatic Dominic Ingle seemed to have a much better handle on the need to appropriately balance stress with rest in order to produce the desired adaptations.
